A favourite activity of the moronic majority, this involves being shunted like cattle into a converted warehouse... sadly not to be slaughtered, but to wear ridiculous trendy clothes, listen to crap eardrum-shattering music, try to pick up brainless members of the opposite sex, and generally stand around aimlessly in a desperate but pointless attempt to show how cool you are.
The act of paying ridiculous amounts of money to enter a dimly-lit, highly-flammable room just to dance for a few hours to overly repetitive music that a 5-year old composed. And you have to dress like you're going to a royal banquet or the bouncer will throw you out. Usually, illegal drugs are served so as to help the attendees tolerate the music.
Participating, individually or with a group, in the more active aspects of urban nightlife. Term encompasses both dancing and non-dancing participation, sexualized and non-sexualized, and usually refers to large, perception- or mood-altering venues. Suggests, but does not imply, the use of drugs or alcohol. Can be applied, though only loosely, to clubs in the suburbs.
I was macking on some random hottie and wishing they'd play anything Calderone; Jay was grinding to strobes in the main hall; Bess was reapplying the body glitter she'd rubbed off on everyone else, and Biff was gamely slamming Grey Goose with the DJ. It was another night clubbing.
